Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 0.25 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 3 units scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 1 gallon water, for boiling
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly until they are comfortable to handle. Cut them into bite-sized halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Place the warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl and pour the vinaigrette over them. Toss gently to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and let the potatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped parsley, dill, and scallions over the marinated potatoes. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the Marinated Potato Salad slightly warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
